What you need
Steps
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water. Use the same cleanser morning and night, then pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
In the morning, apply a vitamin C serum to clean, dry skin. Use a few drops and spread it over your face, avoiding the eye area.
Wait about one minute for the serum to absorb. Then press a pea-sized amount of moisturizer over your face and neck.
Finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen. Use about two finger lengths for your face and neck, and reapply if you are outside for long.
At night, cleanse again to remove sunscreen, sweat and dirt. Use the same gentle cleanser and lukewarm water.
Use a gentle exfoliating peel or serum two or three nights a week. Start slowly and skip it on nights when your skin feels sore.
Apply a barrier repair night cream or a plain moisturizer while your skin is still slightly damp. This helps lock in water.
For very dry patches, seal them with a thin layer of petroleum jelly. Use only a little, and avoid broken or infected skin.
Keep the routine the same for at least four weeks before adding a new product. Add one new item at a time so you can spot irritation.
Tips and common mistakes
Patch test a new serum or cream on your inner arm for 24 hours before using it on your face.
Sunscreen is the most important morning step, even on cloudy days or when you stay near a window.
If your skin stings or turns red, stop the active product and go back to cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen.
Do not scrub your face with a cloth or brush. Gentle cleansing is enough for most people.
Questions
How long does it take to see results?
Give a new routine about four to six weeks. Dark spots and fine lines can take longer, so take a photo each month to track changes.
Can I use vitamin C and an exfoliant on the same day?
Yes, but many people find it irritating. Use the exfoliant at night and vitamin C in the morning, or alternate nights if your skin is sensitive.
Do I need a separate night cream?
Not always. A plain moisturizer works for many people. A richer night cream helps if your skin feels tight or flaky.
